Roses determined to turn status as favourites into glory against
New Zealand,
South Africa and unknown-quantity Australians
Geva Mentor has warned England’s Roses not to read too much into Australia’s lack of international action or their new-look squad before the start of the Netball Quad Series this weekend. Excitement has been rising in the buildup to the first Quad Series for three years with the Diamonds travelling to the
UK with a new head coach, Stacey Marinkovich, alongside a handful of new caps and a lack of international gametime over the past two years.
But Mentor, the 37-year-old former
England captain who has played in Australia for nearly a decade, believes this could make the Australians even more dangerous when the five-day, four-nation tournament gets under way at London’s Copper Box on Saturday.
